Okay, I like your thought process, Cabbage. You may be on to something, and I have a feeling you're right overall.
However, I would point out that, while the game day program may show a bunch of clean cut, freshly shaven boys, the reality may sometimes look like the pic below. Notice the difference in the same Vandy Boy, one pic taken pre-season, the other mid-season, after a few late night study sessions and frat parties. Kid's head didn't see a razor all season! Or else, maybe he had a ponytail for his program pic.
